NOBE streamlines construction financial control across €890 Million portfolio of over 460 projects in a single centralised environment

Over the past 8 years, NOBE has used Bauwise to centralise project cost management, invoice approvals, subcontractor payment applications and reporting in one connected platform — improving data integrity, financial visibility and administrative efficiency across construction projects.

The challenge

For NOBE, delivering complex construction projects from design to completion means coordinating cost information across multiple project stages and stakeholders. Contracting, concrete work and in-house design all need to stay aligned with subcontractor work, client reporting, approvals and invoicing. When completed works, applications for payment, invoice approvals and progress reports are managed in separate workflows, project teams face a higher risk of duplicated data, slower administration, fragmented information and limited visibility into current financial status. NOBE needed a more reliable way to keep project cost documentation connected, accurate and ready for decision-making.

The solution

NOBE uses Bauwise to streamline financial control workflows by integrating cost management, invoice approvals and applications for payment into a single connected environment. Subcontractor payment applications and client-side progress reports (acts) are managed in the same platform, keeping related project documentation linked throughout the approval process. With digital signing built into the workflow, formal approvals move faster. The centralised platform keeps cost data, acts and approvals linked, giving project teams a clear, up-to-date view of financial status without double data entry, paper trails or separate spreadsheets.

The results

Linked cost management, invoice approvals, payment applications and acts across a €890 million portfolio of over 460 projects

Real-time overview of project financial status without double data entry or manual cost reconciliation

Faster formal approvals, construction administration and reporting through connected digital workflows that replace paper trails and complex spreadsheets
